Tilt sensors come in umpteen flavors. The cheapest and most common flavor is the belittled SW-520D tilt sensor module you can find everywhere. Key component in the demoed module is one SW-520D ‘roll ball switch’ […]
This article is about building a little hydrophone that can be used to record underwater sounds. Professional hydrophones used in science world are relatively costly, and even do it yourself ideas feature expensive components. As […]
Let’s make a quick and dirty foam cutter! Foam is an easy and cheap material for various prototype creations, and cutting the common polystyrene/Styrofoam is easy with a hot wire cutter. Now do it yourself […]
A fan failure in today’s advanced electronic projects may result in other delicate and expensive components failing, causing costly repairs and delays. A 3-wire PC fan is an easy and inexpensive way to prevent such […]
Having spent a few days messing on with building simple inductive proximity sensor circuits, I’m putting together anew inductive proximity detector device for a small-scale industry. I already have an expandable idea with the sensor […]
Here’s an automatic minder to keep your stairway alighted while you’re near to it. One presence sensor wired to a microcontroller scans its environs and automatically activates a light source when it sees an object. […]
